Trying to Find Joy in the Grind
While I know that gaming is meant to be something to enjoy, relax and take some solace in amidst the daily hustle and bustle we all go through, it sometimes feels like games today are more of a chore than a luxury. This seems especially present in the case of gamers who play multiple titles at a time or tend to go through things quickly and move on to the next title in their backlog.

But right now, I am feeling the grind to a high degree in order to 'keep up with the Joneses' in videogame land. I'm talking about progressing through those now ubiquitous season passes. Whether it is in Apex Legends, Fortnite, Dauntless or a myriad other titles, it feels like the need to be actively playing constantly (to not pay some ludicrous sums to 'catch-up' is mandatory). While many of these games have their fun moments, the daily chore of sometimes logging in for a bit to accomplish what one needs to can detract from that enjoyment.

On a more personal level though, I'm not quite sure how to 'get over it', for lack of a better word. Maybe just put aside some of those grind-y games I have in my rotation right now? Potentially give up some of the more traditional games to focus on the season-based titles? All I know is that there is a good amount of items on my proverbial plate right now, without a lot of time to invest in everything as much as I would like to.
